Overall Satisfaction with Workday Human Capital Management

The entire organization is using Workday. With multiple types of employees (full- and part-time, permanent, temporary, 10- and 12-month), there was a need for a single, streamlined system that can be grown to meet the ever-changing needs of the university. The transition to the system for the end users was somewhat stress-free, and the option to sign in remotely or through a mobile device made the overall acceptance of this new system extremely high.

  • The mobile feature is superior. Little if any issues have been reported on this feature and it is very intuitive.
  • The ability to manage different types of employees in unique situations is handled with simplicity and focus. There are enough options and customizations in the system to allow for various needs.
  • Some of the processes are not necessarily easy to interpret, such as the difference in screens when looking at an overview of an employee. But, this comes with using the system.
  • Because of the flexibility of the system, the Payroll department has been able to release most of their manual tasks. This allows for greater analysis and helped to identify an overlooked, on-going issue from the past.
  • End user buy in has been high and although there were many questions at go live, there is a high level of acceptance and satisfaction from the community - the best ROI available!!!
Workday allowed for more flexibility in the setup and execution of different roles within the system. The design is more intuitive than other programs and allowed for greater acceptance by the user community.
In my current environment, there is a multitude of employee types: full time, part time, two different unions, student workers, temporary workers, permanent employees, 10 or 12-month staff, management, etc. Each of these types of employees has their own needs and their own processes for recording and being awarded time. With just so many different needs, Workday has been able to meet the specific requirements of each group while staying standardized so that the training and support staffs can easily assist the end users.
